Sure! Lying flat after cataract surgery is a common recommendation to allow the eye to heal properly. It helps reduce pressure on the surgical site and minimize the risk of complications. Your eye surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions tailored to your case.
You can lay flat after cataract surgery. If you have retina surgery with a gas bubble in ee then you may not be able to lay flat. Head positioning after routine cataract surgery is not necessary.
Yes
